I've always enjoyed seeing a row of clean, neatly parked fleet vehicles!

16 Skylines without a spare tire and gas tank? I'm definitely in, this is the biggest project i've seen.

I wish you good luck! 🙂

I can not get the "Week 1" photo album title description to upload so I will post it below:

I am very much excited to have finally made the commitment to begin this project! There's something very breathtaking about unwrapping the cellophane off a 32 year old model. It's as close as one can get to turning back time, I suppose. The first evening was spent opening the boxes, unbagging and inspecting all the sprues. The next few nights included 6 hours of quality time with the missus carefully removing all parts from sprues and sorting them in beading trays for safe keeping. Yesterday evening I filled in the factory antenna roof holes while drooling over some old Mako Ishino music videos. *sigh* oh how I love girls with yaeba!

Week 2 will begin cleaning up the parting lines and I hope will conclude with some actual assembly in earnest. Thank you for looking!

Hi Steve, no...but I DID own an '85 Chevy Impala retired by the Montgomery County (Maryland) Sheriffs Dept. back in the early 90s. ('85 was the last year for the 4bbl carb - still remember the sound)

Hello Aghis! Receipts totals on the Nissans averaged out to apx $16usd each (the R30 sedans are not nearly as popular as a R34 GT-R). I found most of them through eBay seller 'modelmaam' a very nice lady from Canada. She puts many of her kits up as job-lots (groups of 4 etc). The Fujimi Parts Sets I had to find 1 here, 1 there and took a very long time to find each one.
